I already see long lines of cars at gas stations here in Virginia. One guy told me he spent over $90 to fill up his Ford F250. I guess I will fill up mine today.

Unbelievable. I filled up 93 yesterday, THANK GOD I DID at 2.92 a gallon. Today on my way to school, the same station I filled up at no more than 12 hours before hand showed 93 @ $3.59. I was WOWED. I called my Dad right there on the spot to tell him, to which he replied "This economy is gonna crash and burn." He is a day trader/investor and has been heavily involved in the U.S. economy and its operation for 25 years. It scares me when he says things like that, but then again, so do gas prices being at $3.59. Unbelievable the price of gas could jump 25% OVERNIGHT.

I've heard it's a major problem in GA right now. Soon it will be a problem throughout the country. Lexozz, Bush really has nothing to do with it. Most of our fuel comes through the Gulf, its going to get worse before it gets better.

Thanks jw. Aggravates me when people say "Bush better do something". Like him or not, completely out of his control.
But, in fact Lexozz, he did do something, which is move for oil from the US reserves to be released for public consumption. At least until the refineries in the gulf area come back online.
